2019.09.28 – Nova Scotia Canada

Nova Scotia, Canada

We visited Sydney, NS, which is a port town on the Atlantic.  In this Irish/Acadian town we saw the world’s largest fiddle and discovered a lovely yarn shop that had some quilled greeting cards that were gorgeous.

The world's largest fiddle.

Information about the fiddle.

We also visited the Alexander Graham Bell museum.  He was an inventor, scientist and engineer.  However, most of all, he wanted to be known as a teacher of the deaf.

The Alexander G. Bell museum in Baddeck.  His summer home, which is not open to visitors, is on the far side of the hill in the background.

While we wandered around Baddeck we found that a National Geographic cruise ship was in port.  Bell was one of the co-founders of National Geographic.

Jerry drove the Cabot Trail and took these great pictures.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Halifax is a lovely place.  The following pictures highlight our adventures.

If you look really hard, you can see our campground and our coach in the left background just beyond the rock wall.

This is the classic photo from the Lunenburg harbor

These are the blue rocks just outside Lunenburg.

These next 2 are morning shots on the mirror like water in a little cove just around the corner from our campground. 

Sunsets were wonderful at our campground.  This is taken just a few steps from our door.

Our last evening in Halifax.  Just stunning!

Coming is our blog entry for the New Brunswick area and the Bay of Fundy highlighting the incredible tides, highest in the world at 38 feet twice a day.  Tomorrow though we head back to the States for some more Maine lobster rolls  and then a two week saunter back to south Texas, friends, Tex-Mex and Whataburger.
